Julianna Pena and Amanda Nunes will tomorrow headline UFC 277 in what is set to be one of the biggest rematches in WMMA history. Pena shocked the world when she managed to defeat Amanda Nunes back at UFC 269, leading to the Brazilian’s first defeat in over 8 years and becoming only the 5 women to ever hold the title.
As she prepares to make her first defense, she can be assured that her team is right beside her through thick and thin. In fact, the champ’s family too played a huge role in motivating her enough to weather the storm in her first outing against Nunes.
Today at the final faceoff during the ceremonial weigh-ins, Pena in fact had one of the youngest and most reliable members of her team right beside her. Her daughter, Isa Pena joined her mother as she faced off against Amanda Nunes. Mimicking her mother, Isa stood her ground until the former champion had stepped away.
Fans found this candid moment to be heartwarming and another reason to rally behind Julianna. Here are the best fan reactions to young fighter.
